INFORMATION FOR
Ways to Deal With Stress(Without Totally Losing Your Cool)
Get rid of what's causing the stress--if you can. (That doesn't mean your younger brother or sister or your parents.) Change your attitude toward what's causing the stress. Write down what is causing you stress and how you react to it. Then take a nice deep belly-breath. Face up to what's causing the stress until it isn't stressful anymore. Avoid hassles. Identify the things that stress you out and eliminate them or prepare yourself to cope with them. Take a day off--that's what weekends are for. Pursue a new hobby or sport. Take time to do what you enjoy, not what other people want or expect you to do. Start keeping a journal. Writing down your thoughts and emotions can relieve a lot of stress and also help you see your creative side. Don't deny or repress your emotions, as this only compounds stress. Don't be afraid to cry; crying can relieve anxiety and let out bottled-up emotions.
